I don't know, but db bench isn't a better exercise than bb bench. Maybe better for building your chest, but that doesn't make it a better exercise. Barbell bench is the cornerstone upper body lift for a reason. You can use significantly more weight with a barbell thus building strength and power much quicker.
I've read in a few places that DB bench presses are actually healthier for your shoulders, because they allow for a fuller range of motion. I'm guessing that probably doesn't come into play until you've progressed past the novice and intermediate stage and have been lifting for years.
I've read the opposite. Not sure which is true, but I know sometimes doing incline db fucks with my left shoulder.
